I'm glad I got to talk to you and Kelly for a few minutes. The car is awesome and I hope you get to bring it back when it's finished. I wish I had got a picture of you with the car, but I didn't think of it until it was too late.

Saw the car and saw you but you were busy talking. Was just going to say hi and shake your hand and congratulate you on the journey.
 Amazing workmanship

What an awesome time. Finally met a bunch of folks I wanted too, missed a bunch I wanted to see again. I think next year I'm going to only rent a space and put a chair up just so I can have the pleasure of meeting everyone in person on this site and not miss anyone. It was such a fun time and I humbled from the compliments of my handiwork. I made a few VERY interesting contacts from the show. Just am awesome time and the new winner of the Future Fabricator Award was well deserved. John K from the Mecum venue spent about an hour with me asking questions. Very intriguing conversation. No, it won't be going across any stage anytime soon.  Then this guy showed up for a photo op....  So good to see everyone. Wish I could have met some more in person. I was literally walking around with a smile on my face non-stop. More to come!! Cheers to you guys! Dave PS: Most flattering part was Charley. He was basically a satellite orbiting my car the entire time grabbing others to take a look. You couldn't resist! So amazing Last edited by A12pilot; 11-20-2023 at 11:54 PM.

Good to finally meet you too, Tim! A funny thing, a judge showed up to look over and score my car. I respectfully wandered over, and a conversation ensued:
Me: "Hello, I'm Dave. May I answer any questions for you? " Judge: "Hi. I had to look at photos to see what this was and if it looked like it." Me: "What exactly are you looking for? " Judge: "I don't know. You don't have a class listed so I'm not sure what I'm looking at. " Coy Me: "I see. So you're telling me I have no class?" Miffed Judge: "I didn't say that, you just don't have a category for your car. " Apologetic Me: "I was just joking, and didn't mean..." Agitated Judge: "This isn't a joke. Judging is serious. Here, sign this." Rolling eye Emoji Me: "Total points out of 1,000....14. Awesome!" Vicki at Awards Ceremony: "The winner with no class, Dave Molnar, with a 1957 BMW 507"  I say this all in fun, but it did get judged by mistake. Judge was honest in that he didn't know what it was or why I was even being judged. It was all a mistake (including inviting me! ) Cheers Dave

I kinda wondered how and why they were judging it also. Probably just so Vicki could say. "The winner with no class, Dave Molnar, with a 1957 BMW 507"
